We went to Aspen, Colorado a few years ago, and visited the nearby Maroon Bells, a pair of 14ers that may be the most photographed mountains in Colorado. On that trip, the film of choice was Fuji Velvia – great for color, but poor exposure latitude. Plus, I didn’t have a split neutral density filter. The pictures didn’t do the mountains any justice. The scenery was spectacular, but the slides weren’t.
This year, I made the trip specifically to make some photos. It was an overnight camping trip – arrive one afternoon, sleep, wake up before dawn to catch the right light, shoot like crazy, and come home. The new digital camera doesn’t have much more latitude than slide film, but it does allow for some trickery… take two exposures and use Photoshop take care of the rest. Although I’m disappointed that it wasn’t all “in camera,” I’m happy enough with the result.

Any sissy can ride a horse… only a REAL cowboy can ride a cow!
By the way – you’re seeing the effects of Andrew’s first nasty fall… right off the play gym at daycare and into a perfect 10-point faceplant… poor little guy!

No, we don’t actually believe he’s learned to brush… but he sure likes to suck on that pretend toothpaste!
